What I’m Doing This Weekend – ChicagoMag.com, 05.13.2015

Up next in our series of weekend plans from notable, in-the-know locals—a.k.a. people we like: actor Penelope Walker. The Project(s) runs through Sunday, June 21.

“Friday, I’ll probably take a walk around the lake and then I’ll grab something at Growling Rabbit. They have the best quiche—the crust is really flaky and buttery and usually there’s a veggie option. They also have a really good quinoa salad. They are probably my go-to every morning. Then I’ll do the show at 8; usually I’m pooped after that.

“Saturday, in between shows, I’ll probably do a workout at Fit Body Boot Camp. They take it to the next level and it’s really motivating. Sometimes after the show, we go over to Mrs. Murphy and Sons Irish Bistro for drinks. It’s a bar and a restaurant; it seems to have something for everyone. It’s really big, but it feels very neighborhood-y.

“Sunday, I’ll probably go to A Taste of Heaven in Andersonville. They have really good pancakes and their coconut cream cake is fantastic.” —As told to Tomi Obaro….. for more info go here
